The version is substantially the same as the earlier of those which are
called Wycliffite (see the Preface to the ^Vycliffite Bible, Oxf. 1850, p. liv.) :
but it has been considerably abridged throughout. The books follow the
order of the Vulgate. After Psalm cl. of which as in other cases only a
small portion is inserted, are English abstracts of the Te Deum, which b
ascribed to ' Austin and Ambrose,' of the Benedicite, the Benedictus, the
Magnificat, the Nunc Diraittis and a translation of the Psalm, or Creed,
* Quicunque ^nilt' (fol. 75 b). The MS. is altogether defective from Amos
ix. 2 to Jonah ii. 1.

* Lattantio Valori Fiorentino ' dates * di casa sua in Londra il primo giomo

A list of authors is prefixed to each volume.
901 Ee. I. 12.
A quarto volume, on parchment and vellum, 105 leaves (ex-
cluding blanks), about 20 lines on each page, handwriting uniform
from fol. 11 to fol. 80, and throughout assignable to the close of
the xvth century, which is also the approximate date of the
language.
The following title is supplied by a colophon (fol. 80, a) :
'Liber Ympnokum et CANTicoRnM quern composuit Pra-
ter Jacobus Rymax Ordims Minorum, ad laudem Omni-
potentis Dei et sanctissime matris eius Marie omniumque sanc-
torum, anno Domini millessimo [Jccc™" [Jxxxxii."*
This date, which should be mcccc lxxxxh. was probably mutilated in
order to enhance the value of the MS. Tanner {sub nmn.) had been misled
by the corruption.

These Hymns, which are little more than translations from the Latin

mencement of the 2nd book is indicated by the initial letter, whose branches
border the page. It begins, * Ordo narrationis historic h' expostulat ;' and
breaks off, in ca. 28, at the sentence •' Codrus mori...pro lege erat quisque,*
the catchwords being ' Salon in signis' at the foot of p. 52, after which follow
4 blank leaves of veUum ; the first words on the next leaf (p. 61) being
iu Lib. m. ca. 22, * Et Dionisias apud Siracusam interficitur...* There is
another break in Lib. lu. 42, 'ei jocolatoria carmina et ejus rituperium
divulgata ;' ' patienter sustinuit ' being the catchwords at the foot of p. 82,
the first words on the next page being 'secularis adepta sollicitudinis et

Lib. VI. ' proceres aput Glouerinam potissime Leofricus comes.'
At p. 190 at ' translatus est rex antiqus de ' in ca. 44 of Lib. vii. the MS.

Explicit.
Throughout explanatory matter b mixed up with the text, no difference
being made in the writing between the text and commentarj'. The first
chapter of Genesis is rather a commentary with the verses inserted, than a
mere translation. Thus in Gen. ch. iii. after v. 4 there follows without any
distinction, * Li serpenz signifie li deables qui est plus noiseus et plus mali-
cieus que toutes bestes,' &c.

of which was .Sllred (or Alfred) of Rievaulx (cf. his prose Life in Twysden's

from which the present writer drew his materials ('sanz fausete e sanz
barat'). His work was dedicated to 'Alianore riche reine dengleterre'
(? Eleanor of Provence, married to Henrj' IIL in 1230). An extract from
it has been printed in the Chroniques Anglo-Normandes, ed. Michel, Rouen,
1836, Tome i. pp. 119 — 126 ; and copies of several of the illuminations may

A quarto, on parchment, measuring about 11 inches and
7 inches, of 329 leaves, in good preservation. There are two
columns of wTiting upon each page.
Its title is, 'Eegistrum Vestiarii,"" or ' Registrum W.
PiNCHEBECK ;' and it relates to the property of the Abbey of
St Edmlnd at Bury, in Suffolk. It was compiled by a monk
of the above name, and commenced a, d. 1333, as we learn from
the original title, written with red ink, at the head of the foho
that is now numbered 25. The book consists of several distinct
parts, nearly all apparently of the same date, and combined into
one book at an early period ; for the numbering of the folios is
written in a very archaic form of the Arabic numerals. The

only portions that seem to be of later date are the two pages
of* a folio preceding the numbering, and now marked fol. b, and
four pages numbered as folios 23 and 24. The whole is beauti-
fully written and in fine preservation.
Several folios are wanting to make the numbering regular, but
it seems probable that they were blank, and have been removed
on account of the value of the parchment. Two folios are num-
bered 260. The omitted numbers are noticed below at the places
where they occur.
At folio 140 a slip is inserted.
The contents of the fly-leaves at the beginning are as follow :
Fol. A. On the first page there are several more modern
notes concerning the authorship and contents of the book. On
the next page is pasted a modern title, viz. Album Registrum
Vestiarii sive Registrum W. Pinchebeck.
Fol. B. On the first page of this folio are some other notes
concerning the contents of the book, mostly written in an old
hand. On the second page are only the words, ' Registrum W.
Pynchebek,' in an old hand.
Fol. c is blank, with the exception of the title, ' Registrum
Vestiarii,' written at the top of the first page, in a hand of about
the same date as the book.
Fol. D contains, extending over its first and two-thirds of its
second page, a register entitled, ' In rotulis placitorum coram
domino Rege apud Westmonasterium in termino Sci. Hilarii
anno regni regis Edw. filii regis Hen. xxvi.' ' De contencione
inter Abbatem et Villam."' This is written in the Norman- French
language, and by a later hand than what follows.
The regular contents of the Register are these :

nastery. A.D. 1071. — f. 1-

This Romance may be compared with the Lays of Marie, of which an
abstract is given in Ellis, Early English Metrival Romances. Like them it
was most probably Armorican in its origin. Yder is perhaps a debased form
of Uther, and other names {e.g. Gueneloie and Guilladon) indicate a like
affinity.
A former owner of the MS. was * Thomas Knyuett.'

Extracts and copies are to be found in Baker, xxxiii. 1 — 21, and were pro-

Job. D. Epis. Elij.' (Bp. Moore). But the contents have not been printed
among the 'State Papers, Henry VI IL'

Vol. I. p. 42, 43, &c. : exactly copied, some few and inconsiderable mistakes
being allowed for, with the Cardinal's Letter truly copied.' The latter is
dated ' At Hampton Corte the xxvi"" day of August ' [^15233, and is addressed
' To my loving frends The Lorde Morley Mr Edward Lee the Kings Al-

4. Cardinal Wolsey to Edward Lee touching the pensions
due to him from Paleuce and Toledo.
' At my manor of the More the xxix*'* day of Septembre.'
(1526).
From the reference to John Almayn and the commission (' the au-
thoryte') sent to Lee, this letter appears to have been written before that of
Lee's printed in Ellis' Original Letters (3rd Series, ii. 93), with the date v"*
of June 1527.
This appears to be a holograph addressed (f 37) 'To my loving frende
Master Edward Lee the Kings Almoner and his graces Ambassado' resident
w' the Empero^'
5 a. From the same to the same.
The Ambassador is instructed that the King is glad to hear of the Em-
peror's zeal for the ' repose of Christendome, and the extirpation of heresies,'
and his desire for a ' peac universal ' — to require the Emperor to moderate
his demands as the French king is likely to do — that there is not time before
winter for a ' convencion ' or ' Diett ' of Kings — that the King (Henry VIII.)
is willing to act moderator between the several parties in Christendom to
unite them against the Tm-ks — that the Duchy of Milan must first be put
in indifferent custody — to protest against the violence attempted on the Pope
and the spoiling of the Church of S. Peter — to exhort the Emperor to take
the Crown Imperial without causing suspicion in Italy, and to assure him of
the King's fair intentions in offering his mediation. ' From my place besids
Westminster the xxj"* day of October.' (1526).
This long letter, occupying fF. 29 — 35, has been copied by Baker (MSS.
XXXIII. p. 11), who after noticing the frequent recurrence of the words ' the
King and I,' adds ' Only the Cardinal's name and title are in his own hand,
* The words in italics have been crossed out by a pen, and the words in brackets
written aboTe.

the letter is in Gardiner's hand, as far as I can judge.' It is followed by
another.
b. From the same to the same.
Wolsey declares his continued good mind towards the Emperor, and
would have him moved to moderate his demands and consent to a peace.
* At my place besids Westminster the xxj*^ day of Octobre.'
This occupying ff. 38, 39, has the address (£ 40) ' To my loving frende
M' Edward Lee the Kings Almoner and his gracs Ambassado"^ to thempero'.'
It is copied in Baker, lb. pp. 11 — 13.
Qa. f. 43. ' Instructions geven by the Kings Highnes to his

c. f. 64. Further Instructions from Cardinal Wolsey to the
same.

XXXIII. p. 18.

8. A Copy of the Treaty of Madrid, 1526, between the
Emperors Charles V. and Francis I.
This appears to be a Copy of the Treaty in the French language, dated
Madrid, 14th January, 1526, and printed in Rymer, Foedera, xiv. 308. It
seems to have formed a separate pamphlet, with the endorsement, ' Tractus
Madrilan,' and now occupies if. 76 — 135.
9. f. 136. ' Copia duorum articulorum traetatus arctioris

concluded upon between the English and French Commissioners,

Commissarios Dominae Ludovicse Regentis Francise,' which is printed in
Rymer, Foedera, xiv. 48 — 52,
It begins (f. 144) :
Vniversis...cum preter earn pacis commendacionem...
After the final words on f. 156, ' ofFerendis impetranda et obtinenda,' the
scribe has written (f. 157), 'Quod reliquum est traetatus continet clausulas

by which the Emperor was held to the King of England, ' tarn

the following order : Genesis... Esther, Maccabees, Psalms, Isaiah... Malachi,
Job, Pro verbs... Ecclesiasticus, and then the New Testament, f. 242, in the

appears from the Greek paging : in the latter place 5 paper leaves
are inserted, written about the xvth century, ff. 121 and 122a
being left blank : the end is likewise missing.
[This MS. corresponds with Cod. xx.kiv. of the Coislinian Library. The

(col. 798).
The epistle is followed by a short summary ('Ore fiev 6 p.aKapios (f)\a-
^lavos — Kadaipfdfis avfOffiaTiadrj) of an appeal to Eutyches respecting his
faith followed by his condemnation, obviously describing the final proceed-
ings of the 'ixth' Council of Constantinople (anno 448). A much fuller

This fragment, which does not appear to have been printed, is inserted
with a fresh red line and title after the 13th canon of Nic£Ea, probably as
bearing on the same subject. A treatise of St Dionysius on repentance
(I8ia Tis Trepl fieravolas ■ypa(f)fj), addressed to Conon [Colon v. /.], bishop of
Hei-mopolis, is mentioned by Eusebius (H. E. vi. 46). A somewhat similar
fragment is printed by Mai (Class. Auct. x. 484) ; which may belong either to
this or to some of the other works of St Dionysius on repentance, mentioned
by Eusebius (1. c.) and St Jerome (Z)e vir. ill. 69).

This collection, with the exception of the long title or description and
a few scattered scholia, is printed in Beveridge, Pand. Can. i. 509 — G78, but
in a difiFerent and somewhat mutilated recension ; also separately by Justel
under the title Codex Canonum EcclemtE Africans, Paris, 1614. The distri-
bution of the sections, vaguely called canons, varies greatly from that of the
printed text.
Under the general title are given (as in Beveridge) several documents
with separate titles. They are as follows: An Epistle of the African Synod
to Bonifitce bishop of Rome (fF. 202 a — 2056). A rescript rf St Cyril of Alex-
andria to the same Synod (205 fi, 206 a). An Epistle of Atticus bishop of

The number of heads of Novells enumerated in the index is 87 ; but the
MS. breaks oflF in the middle of the 14th. In the Indejc siglarum et notarmn
to the 3rd volume of the Leipzig Corpus Juris Civilis allusion is made to an
inedited collection of Novells in 87 heads, discussed in Biener's Geschichte
der Xorellen, pp. 584 sqq. This is probably the collection in question.
According to Biener (De Colleetionibus canonum ecdesiee Grceca, pp. 15, 16)
this collection was made by Joannes Scholasticus of Antioch, patriarch of
Constantinople ; and -was subsequently combined by other hands with his
collection of canons into the A^omocanon which now bears his name, pub-
lished in VoelL Bibl. Jur. Canon. Vet. pp. 603—660.

dencies of the abbey of Fontevraud, perhaps Amesbury or Westwood. The
Abbey of Fontevraud was founded by Robert of Arbrissel in 1099. He was
only a ' beatus,' not a saint. See Helyot, T. vi. p. 83, for an account of the

an index of cases.

BiBLiA Vulgata Sancti Hieronymi.
This Bible has been written by 5 or 6 different persons, and the books are
bound up with little regard to order ; thus the Acts is placed between Daniel
and Judith, Esther and Tobias between the Epistle to the Hebrews and that
of S. James.
The prologues begin f. 1 h, Genesis f . 5 ; f. 145 is a Kalendar, and then
the Psalter follows. S. Luke is placed before S. Mark ; the Revelation ends
f. 453, and is followed by an explanatory index of names, of which several
leaves are lost. A leaf is also lost between fF. 174 and 175, containing the
beginning of the book of Job. There are very full scholia. The last leaf
gives on the obverse a list of the Bible down to S. Jerome.

pears from a contemporary table of contents formerly to have
contained five others, viz. Speculum penitentis, Lapidarium, Glose

Magistri W. de Montibus. These books had been lost in the
xvth century, as appears from the words ' non infra,"* written
against their names in the table.

Concerning this work and its author, see G. E. Lessing's Sammtliche
Schriften. 9. Band. p. 443. (Berlin. 1839). Lessing is inclined to identify
hira with Tutilo, and supposes him to have lived in the ixth century. The
whole work is edited in Bd. 10 of Lessing's works, p. 372. This copy con-
tains only the first book (de Coloribus) complete, with an additional chapter

early in the xith century. Bequeathed by Archbp. Parker to Sir
Nicholas Bacon, and by him presented to the University Library
in 1574.
1. A Copy of the Psalter in the version of St Jerome
WITH AN Anglo-Saxon translation interlined in red.
After a page of 'Orationes et Preces ante Psalterium/ it begins in an
illustrated frontispiece (p. 1):

Ends (p. 490) :
Hergea^ hine on cimhalam wynsumnysse celc gast herige drihten.
Laudate eum in cymbalis iubilationis omnis spiritus laudet Dominum.
The A. S. version is substantially the same as that contained in the
Lindisfame Psalter (printed for the Surtees Society, 1843) : the dialectic
variations indicating a southern (Saxon) origin.
2. Several Canticles and Prayers, in Latin, most of
which, as far as p. 537, are accompanied by an Anglo-Saxon
interlinear version.
They comprise the Hymn of Isaiah (Is. xii.); the Prayer of Hezekiah
(Is. xxxviii. 10 sq.) ; 'Canticum Anne' (1 Sam. ii. 1 sq.); 'Canticum Moysi
prophete' ( Ex. xv.) ; ' Canticura Abbacuc ' (Habbak. iii.) ; ' Canticum Moysi
ad filiis {sic) Israhel' (Deut. xxxii.); the Benedicite; the Magnificat; the
Benedictus; the Te Deum (entitled 'Hymnum Optimum'); ' Hymnum

Simeonis ' (the Nunc Dimittis) ; ' Ymnum Angelorum ' (the Gloria in Ex-
celsis) ; * Oratio Dominica ;' ' SjTnbolum Apostolorum ' [the translation want-
ing from the Te Deum to this point] ; the Athanasian Creed (without title).
At p. 537 commences a Latin Litany, dating as far hack as the year 900,
and printed in the Journal of Philology, Cambridge, June, 1854, pp. 266 sq.
The rest of the volume (pp. 541 — 552) is occupied with prayers in Latin.
It may perhaps be inferred from a clause in the Litany that the MS. originally
belonged to an archiepiscopal diocese. Wanley {Lib. Vet- Septentrion. Cata-
logus, p. 152) refers it on this ground 'ad ecclesiam Christi Salvatoris Can-
tuariae.'
Besides the frontispiece, pp. 167^ 380 contain illuminated drawings.

Though five books are here alluded to, no third book is forthcoming, and
the second consists of very much fewer chapters than the others. The work
was printed by Fabricius in his Codea; Pseudepigraphus Veteris Testamenti
(ii. 337, ed. 1723), and thence reprinted in Gallandi, Bibl. Patr. xiv. 3—80,
partly from a transcript from Thomas Gale's copy of this MS. now preserved
in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, (0.4.24), and partly from
another copy made at Cambridge by Boemer. Compare Cave, Hist. Litt.

Published in Grabe's Spicilegium SS. Patrum,l 129—253, 336—374, from
a copy of this MS. lent to him by Mill, collated with a Bodleian MS, (Barocc.
133) of the year 1268. A transcript answering to this description is bound
up with Gale's copy of the Commonitorium of Josephus, mentioned above.
Reprinted in Fabricius, Cod. Pseudepig. Vet. Test. i. 496.
Cave {Hist. Litt. i. 399) relates from ^latthew Paris that John Basing-
stoke, Archdeacon of Leicester, discovered at Athens this among other
Greek treatises unknown in the West, and that Robert Grosseteste sent to
Greece for them, and translated into Latin the Test. XII. Patriarch. By
comparison with this version, which was published at Paris in 1549, Cave
infers that the Cambridge MS. is identical with that obtained by Grosseteste.
At the end are bound up two parchment leaves of very obscure contracted
Greek writing, apparently of the x\-th century, which seems to contain part
of a sermon. It begins Ka\ x(ipayaxyi]a-ei tovs irevryras . . .: the end is ille-
gible. Many brief illegible Greek notes are scrawled over the last leaf.
This volume formerly belonged to Archbishop Parker, whose name it
bears on f. 1 a. Its possible earlier history is given above. The note "hie
liber script, per eum qui scripsit psalterium parvum Grecum" is written on
a fly-leaf at the beginning, in the same hand as the index at f. 199.
1158 Ff. I. 25.
A folio volume, containing now, as in the days of its donor,
Abp Parker, 400 pages of parchment, written by various hands,
which are more particularly described below.
On the inside of the present cover is a table of contents probably in the
handwriting of JosceUne.
1. 'De Poxtificum Gestis Libri quinque per Magistnmi
GuiLHELMUM M ALMSBURiENsis Bencdlctinse Sodalitatis mona-
chum, qui Somerset proprio cognomine dictus est.'
The first four books are in a handwriting of the close of the twelfth cen-
tury, in double columns, of 43 lines each. No rubrics have been inserted,
though spaces were left: that at the beginning has been filled up by the
above title in the time of Abp Parker, perhaps before the MS. came into his
possession : another piece of parchment was then fastened over it, and the
title repeated with his archiepiscopal coat of arms inserted in the initial D,
and ' Matthseus Cantuar. 1574,' at the top of the page ; below it are the
faint traces of ' Incipit de pontificum Gestis ' of the date of the text of
the MS.
This older portion of the MS. begfins (p. 1) with what in Savile's edition
(folio, London, 1597) is entitled (f. 111) :
Prologus Libri Primi,
316 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS.
Prima Sedes episcoporum post Christianitatem Angloi"um Cantuarie
habita est...
It ends (p. 116), nearly at the end of the ivth Book in Savile's edition
(f. 1676):
...tante turbe ruinarum quante vix alibi.
The succeeding sentences, 'In eius heliensL8...exei'cere ibi vitam,' have
been added in a smaller and later handwriting. The page is completed by
a short extract, ' De sectis faciendis...' from a statute 43 Hen. III. (a.d. 1259).
From the corrections in the margin and interlineations this MS. appears
to have been collated once in Parker's time, and again somewhat later by
one who perhaps has noted on a fly-leaf at the beginning, ' vide et Trin. Col.
eundem de Pontificibus.'
That which in this MS. is styled ' Liber v. de Pontificibus'
has been added in a handwriting of perhaps the xvith century.
It is also known as ' Vita Aldhelmi.'
It is printed in Gale, Scriptores post Bedam, fol. Oxon. 1691. T. i.
p. 337.
2. In the same late hand as the Vita Adhelmi,
' Incipit Prologus Willmi Monachi in novella historia
Anglorum ad Robtm Com. Glocestren.'
It begins (p. 193) like the text printed by Savile (folio, London, 1591),
and that edited for the English Historical Society by Thomas D. Hardy
(8vo. London, 1840). It is divided like the latter edition into three Books,
and ends (p. 236):
...pede ad Badrinam profecta, hinc ad Walingaford...equo subvecta
est. Quae tamen latius persequi fert animus si unquam, dante Deo, ab
his qui interfuere veritatem accepero. Finis,
The three following articles are in a handwriting of the xvth
century ; there are double columns of 40 lines on each page.
S. After the Prologus (p. 237) is
' Incipit Itinerarium Regis Anglie EiIcardi in terram sanc-
tam a Magistro Gauprido Vinsauf editum.'
This MS. furnished the text printed by Gale, Scriptores Quinque, (folio,
Oxon. 1687,) Vol. ii. p. 247. Notwithstanding the above rubric, from what is
said in Mon. Hist. Brit. General Introduction, p. 20, it appears that the
author is yet to be identified.

They are followed by 'Versus ejosdem de eodem rege,' also printed by
Gale, beginning:
Vexillum pacis, belli sera, purpura regum.
Ending (p. 363) :
In tria diWditur unus qui plas erat uno.
5. 'Incipit HisTORiA captioxis Damiete.'
The author of this History was unknown to Grale, who has taken his text
fix)m this MS. ; in Gesta Dei per Francos, fol. Hano\aaB, 1611, pp. 1129 —
1144, it forms a part of JacofA de Vitriaco Historic Orientals Liber Tertius.
From a comparison of the two texts it seems that Jacobus Vitriaco has incor-
porated this history, but was not its author.
It begins (p. 363) :
Laetetur mons syon et exultent filie jude...in laudem Dei et gratia-
rum actiones.
Then Explicit ProIoguSy Cap Secundum; this begins :
Anno igitur gratie m.cc.xvii, exspirante Treuga Christianorum et
Saracenorum, in primo passagio generali post Concilium Lateranense...
Gale has supphed the rubric to this chapter only ; for the rest he has
followed the MS. which ends (p. 376) :
...multum eis oportuno recedere non valent. Finit
6. The greater portion of this copy of 'Galfkidi Moxe-
MUTENsis HisTORiA fiRiTONUM ' beloDgs to thc xvth centuTy ;
the lines are written across the page, and there are 58 lines on
each of pp. 379 — 412 and 53 on pp. 413 — 52.
The writing on pp. 453 — 460 is the same as § 2.
After the list of capitula it begins and ends as the editions, (see Dd. vi,
12, § 1,) but differs in some places from the printed text.
It is preceded by a table of contents, and is divided into 4 books. B. L

later writers relating to this history.
1159 Ff. I. 26.
A folio, on paper, containing ff. 321, paged throughout in red
chalk. Given to the University by Archbishop Parker, whose
name it bears on the first page : ' Matthseus Cantuar. 1574.'
There is a note on the cover, ' Hoc commentarium in Psal-
terium Grecura quondam fuit codex Theodori Archiepiscopi Oan-
tuariensis inter eos libros quos secum detulit e Roma, circa
annum Domini 668, anno quinto Egberti Regis, qui Theodorus
fuit sextus ab Augustino.' It is certain, however, from the hand-
writing and appearance of the MS., that it cannot be earher than
the xvth century.

This MS. is not mutilated itself, but has been copied from a mutilated
original ; as is shewn by gaps towards the end, and a foot-note after the last
words :

On the first fly-leaf is a note : ' Liber hie MS. si conferatur cum Euthymio

This commentaiy, though frequently printed in Latin, has never ap-
peared in Greek. See Fabricii Bihlioth. Grcec. ed. Harles. T. viii. p. 341.
The present MS. does not contain the preface given by S. Le Moyne in his
Varia Sacra. Lugd. 1685. T. i. p. 150 ; but begins as above with the last
paragraph at p. 209.
1160 Ff. I. 27.
A parchment-book, in folio, of 642 pages, whereon are treatises
written at various periods, the particulars of which are noticed
below.
The volume may be divided into two parts : the former com-
prising the first 18 articles on 252 pages (with the exception of
CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. 319
§ 3 on pp. 41 — 72), in various handwritings, not later perhaps
than the xiiith centun', and in some instances of a prior date;
the latter part being in no case earlier than the xivth centurj'.
The pagination of the volume is now in the red chalk generally observed
in Abp Parker's books, but in the latter part of the volume, and in § 3, there
are traces of an older enumeration in green ink, which some pains have been
taken to erase.
On the inside of the first cover is the following Table of Contents, pro-
bably in the hand of Abp Parker's scribe, with some additions (here dis-
tingtushed by Italics) by a later hand, perhaps by H. Wanley.

of the xiith century.
'Liber querulus Sci Gylde Sapientis de Excidio Bri-
TANNIE.'
The Rev. J. Stevenson, in his edition of Gildas, published for the English
Historical Society in 1838, states that tliis MS. apparently once belonged to
Durham, even if it were not transcribed in that monasteiy . Gale selected it
as the basis of his edition. It is marked as A in the various readings ap-
pended to the text printed in Mon. Hist. Brit. Vol. i. in the Introduction to
which volume (§§ 134, 135) will be foimd a fuller account of this MS. The
Historia Gildce only is contained in it.
It begins on p. 1 :
Incipit prefatio libri queruli...
and ends on p. 14 a, as the text printed on p. 16 of Mon. Hist. Brit.
It is divided into xx chapters, of which a summary is given after the
* Prefatio.' There are interlineations and marginal annotations in a smaller
and later hand.
The initial B of Britannia is large and florid, the other initials are either
red or of the dark green or the delicate violet colours, which seem peculiar
to MSS. of this period.
2. Immediately after the preceding, and in the same hand-
writing,
' Incipit prefatio Nennii Britonum historiographi in Historia
Britonum.^
Concerning the various copies of this work that exist in manuscript, and
its reputed author, see Mon, Hist. Brit. Vol. i. Pi-eface, § 1.36 — 140, and for
CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. 321
the text with the various readings, see lb. pp. 47 — 82 ; also Gale's Hist.
Brit, et Angl. Scriptores XF. 1691, p. 93, and the edition by the Rev. J. Ste-
venson for the English Historical Society.
It contains: (a) Praefatio, pp. 14 6 — 1.5 6; (b) Apologia, p. 15 6; (c) Ca-
pitula 15 6 — 20fl; (</) De malis et perversit naturis hominum 20 a, b;
(e) Versus Nennii ad Samuelem ; (/) Versus ejusdem Nennii, 206 ; (g) Notae
qusedam chronologies, 206, 21 a; (h) Historia Britonum, 21 6, commencing
with the chapter marked ii. and ending after the section marked Ixxxvii.
with the rubric, ' Explicit hystoria Nennii britonum historiographi de prima
inhabitatione britonum britannice insule.'
Tliis MS. as the Editor of Mon. Hist. Brit, remarks, has exclusively
many passages in the text which are found in a few others in the margin,
but are wholly wanting in the far greater number of copies. The apparent
glosses discoverable in the text of this MS. seem to indicate that it was formed
from at least two different copies, if not interpolated from other sources.
Nevertheless Dr Gale {XV. Scriptores), and after him Mr Petrie {Mon.
Hist. Brit.), have selected for their text this MS. though it is not the most
ancient in existence.
On p. 25 is a curious figure, of which a representation is given in a note to
p. 58, Hist. Mon. Brit, shewing ' Quomodo tres filii noe sem cham et iaphet
diviserunt inter se totum mundum post dilu>'ium in tribus partibus et quot
provincie sint in unaquaque i)arte sicut opera subscripta et depicta aperte
demonstrat.'
3. The handwriting is not prior to the xivth century, though
the initial letter has an eariier character. Each page is in double
columns of 38 lines.
'GesTA BrITHOXUM a GiLDA SaPIEXTE COMPOSITA.'
It omits all previous to {g) of § 2, beginning (p. 41) :
A principio mundi usque ad diluvium...
The MS. is refeiTed to as V. in Mon. Hi^t. Brit, and was examined, but
not collated, for that edition. It 'adds partly in the text, and partly in
the margins, most of the usual variations found in the work attributed to
Marcus Anachoreta.'
On p. 64 commences Britannice Descriptio, added in this and in some
other MSS. from Henry of Huntingdon.
The first six leaves have an old foliation, 11—61, besides the old foliation
in green (423—8), which is common to this ^, and the latter part of the
volume as noted above.
4. This and the four next articles are in a handwriting of
nearly as old a date as the first two ; the pages are also in double
columns of 36 lines in each
'Incipit prefatio Bede presbiteri et monachi in librum de
Temporibds.'
VOL. II. Y
822 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS.
This rubric precedes what according to the printed editions (see Vol. vi.
of the edition by Dr Giles, Lond. 1843,) is the PrcBfatio to De Temporum
ratione ; after whicli on p. 74 follow ' Explicit prefatio. Incipiunt capitula.
De sex huius seculi etatibus :
De cursu etatum earundum.
De reliquis sex etatibus :
De trina opiniatione fidelinm qnando veniat dns :
De temporibus antichristi.
De die judicii.
De septima et octava etate seculi futuri.'
Then the rubric,
' Expliciunt capitula De sex huius seculi etatibus. Ixvi.' precedes cap™.
Ixvi. of De Temporum ratione : which includes also the second of the above
capitula : the remaining hve corresponding to cap*. Ixvii Ixxi., which are
the last of the work. After which is ' Explicit Bade presbiteri Liber de
Temporibus.'
5. At the bottom of p. 116 5 is the rubric :
* De capite mundi ubi sit secundum Bedam et quoto anno seculi nati-
vitas domini vel passio eius evenerit.'
At the top of p. 116 6 are the lines :
Naturas rerum varias labentis et evi
Perstrinxi titulis tempera lata citis
Beda dei famulus tu fixa obsec" perhennem
Qui legis astra super mente tuere deum.
These are printed by Dr Giles as Prefatio to ' De Natura rerum liber.'
The first words on p. 117 are :
' Principium seculi et conditionis mundi secundum Egyptios quibus
Abraham '. . .
6. In the middle of p. 118 a is the rubric ' De magno anno
ex concurrentibus composito a Beda ut ostenderet diversitatem
cronicarum atque historicorum in nativitate et passione, resurrectio-
neque xpi et de tractatione eiusdem magni anni.'
After this begins the Chronology ' Quinquagessimo q" quarto anno, hoc
est sexto decimo cycli tercii decennovenalis ipsius magni cycli caput mundi
constituitur. Sco Beda sic coufirmante. Ab adam &c.' ending on p. 119...
'Anni iiii" centum octoginte duo.'
In Mm. V. 29. § 4, (f. 119 b to f 120 6) the same chronology is given with
the addition to the above of about 8 lines, 'Quod vero anni ab originc mundi
usque in presentem annum... V. cc.xc. qui sunt ab exordio mundi usque in
presentem.'
7. ' De hospite mutato in asinum"' is the rubric at the top of
p. 120a.
CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. 323
8. 'De capite statue loquentis"* is the rubric forming the
2nd line of p. 120 J.
At the bottom is the rubric ' Hec duo miracula sunt snmpta de historia
Willi Alahnesburiensis monachi.'
9. This appears to be of the same date as § 1.
*Symeoxis Monachi Dunelmensis Historia de Duxel-
MEXSIS EcCLESIA..'
This MS. is one of the two which supplied the text printed by Twysden
in the year 16-52 among the Scriptores x. From the ' Variantes Lectiones'
appended to this Edition, the Apologia Prefatio, &c. preceding cap. i. appear
to have been printed from this MS. See also Mon. Hist. Brit. 645—88.
The Apologia on p. 122 is written in a larger hand than the rest, but of
the same date ; the leaf appears to have been inserted. The initial R of the
Praefatio, the G of cap. i. and A of cap. n. are large and bold. Lib. i. is di-
vided into XV chapters, but ends with the words, ' Ascencionis Dominicae,' in
chap. XIV. p. 8, col. 2, 1. 10, of Twj'sden's Edition; Liber ii. following with
scarcely any interval.
Lib. IV. ends on p. 186 6, as in Twysden ; 'Explicit hystoria Suneonis *
being the rubric.
10. On the next 8 pages are the following :
(a) The rest of the column (p. 186 b) is occupied by a paragraph which
in Scriptores x. p. 58, is headed,
Villse datje per Ecgfridum regcm Northambromm S. Cuthberto et suc-
cessoribus eius.
This article is written in blacker ink, in a somewhat larger hand than
the preceding, though of the same date : and so is the foUo\ving, (on pp.
187—190).
(6) De Ranulpho Episcopo.
(c) De Gaufrido Episcopo, is in the same hand as § 9.
(</) The above articles have no rubrics : the last (c) contains also De
invasore terajwre ^ViUielmi 2*** Episcopi.
(e) On p. 194 a. De electione et ordinatione hugonis Episcopi.
(/) ' He reliquie in Dunelmcnsi continentur ecclesia,' is the rubric to
the paragraph filling p. 1946.
These articles are printed seriatim among Scriptores x. coU. 58 — 68, with
the above titles. See also Mon. Hist. Brit. i. 638, n. a.
There is a gloss occasionally interlineated, and sometimes given in the
margins which in this portion of the volume have been unduly curtailed in
the binding. These remarks applv also to 9 as well as to the following :

11. ' HisTORiA DE Sancto Cutiibebto et de coraraemora-
tione locorum regionumque eius priscaB possessionis a primordio
usque nunc teraporis.
The MS. (pp. 195 — 202) is written in a similar hand to § 2, and appeal's
to have supplied the text for coll. 68 — 76 of Scriptores x. The last paragraph
is in Anglo-Saxon.
12. ' Liber ^dilwlfi lindisfarnensis eccrie monachi de Abba-
tibus et miraculis eiusdem ecelesie.^
The first lines of the Prefatio after the salutation are (p. 203) :
Sume pater placidos modulatis {sic) vota poete

«*♦«•♦
Ends with the first column of p. 215 :
Te pater omnitenens seruet per secula mitis
Inferni uinclis uerberibusque priuans.
For the author see Tanner, Bibl. Brit. p. 269, who refere to this MS. for
the above and following treatises.
After the rubric, which supplies the title above, is that for the next
article.
13. 'Incipit de regibus et regnis et episcopatibus tocius
Anglie.'
Begins (p. 215) :
Dominabantur reges cantuaritarum proprie in cantia in quo sunt
hi epatus...
Ends (p. 216) :
...a sinistra Wintoniensem ceteri secundum tempora ordinationum
sedilia sua agnoscant.
The latter part of this column and various words in other j)laces have
been inserted in a fainter ink than the rest of the text.
14. VisioNEs, is the title supplied in a handwriting of the
XVII th century.
After the rubric ' Miraculum inauditum de quodam die tempestuoso, de
tribus militibus, de cineribus, de auibus et de monte bebio,' the text
begins (p. 217) :
Nuper autem postquam normanni eandem sibi subiugauerant
terram res mirabilis...
These miracles are followed by
' Miraculum terrificum de primo henrico anglorum rege filio Willi.'
Which bcgms (p. 219 «) :
Anno...mVxl° cuidam beccensi fratri de rege hec visio...
and
'Visio cuidam cuiusdam monachi sauigniensis,'
CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. 325
Which begins (p. 2196) :

nasterio sauigniensi contigit sub uenerabili serlone patre eiusdem
monasterii relatu dignum credimus. Unum fratrem...
And ends with the next page.
This book under the title ' De »uis visionibus' is attributed, perhaps too
hastily, by Bale and others, to the author of § 12. See Tanner, Bibl. Brit.
p. 209, note a, and Cave, Hist. Lit. u. 17.
15. On pp. 221—236 in a handv\Titing of the same date
as§ 1.
' Quedam brevis annotatio bone memorie Rieardi prions hag-
ustaldensis ecelesie de modemo et antique statu eiusdem ecclesie
et de pontifieibus eiusdem ecclesie."'
This MS. furnished the text printed by Twj'sden, Scriptores x. coll. 28.5 —
308. See also Cave, Hist. Lit. ii. 2-34.
It may be worth noting that, in the last chapter occupying p. 2.36 b, 1. 33,
the heading in the margin above is ' xiin. Quam pacem dederunt reges
ecclesie hagust,' written in a (chancery) hand not earlier than the xnth
century ; the proper rubric which occupies 1. 34 — .36 of col. a, having been
concealed by a strip of parchment so cut as also to cover the last three and a
half lines of col. b, and the lower margin of the page. On removing the
strip words written alternately in red and green completed col. b : they are
no w almost obliterated.
In the margin below, however, written in black ink are the words * et
tunica et sudarium sancti acce A". d.cc.xl. anno dnice incamationis est sane-
tissimo corpore eius intra posita ob sanctitatis merita declaranda usque in
hodiemum diem pristinam speciem et fortitudinem consers-ant. St". q°. in

rum confessorum virginum que divina pietas nondum hominibus revelavit.'
They seem to refer to the same circumstance as is narrated in Lib. l c. xv.
16. The handwriting of the xiiith century, and on pages
239 — 42 there are 43 lines in each column, containing
'GiLEBERTus lumuicensis episcopus de statu EccLEsiiE.^
This rubric is on p. 239 a, before the first sentence.
Imago generalis ecclesie supra notata primas nominum litteras pro ipsis
nominibus iccirco continet...
This refers to an architectural device on p. 238, surrounded by a legend.
On p. 2.37 to the Prologus commencing ' Episcopis presbiteris totius
hibemie infimus presulum Gille lumuicensis in xpo salutem,' is the rubric :
' Incipit prologus Gille epi lumuicensis de usu ecclesiastico.'
326 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS.
It is written in a large hand but of the same date as the body of the
treatise ; in the latter are some erasures and corrections : and in the last
sentence 'qui cotidie clamide coccinea induitur ut semper martirio probatus
probetur,' the word 'paratus' is interlineated.
From some pencil-marks the MS. appears to have been collated; its
author was Bishop of Limerick about 1130 ; see Ware's Ireland, i. 504.
17. On pages 248 — 5, written perhaps in the xiiith century,
SuccEssio Regum.
A list of British kings from iEueas to Cadwaladrus. To most of the
names are subjoined brief notes written in a minute hand of the period.
On p. 246 the first words are ' Beda. Prima etas ab adam usque ad
noe...' (see De Temporihus, cap. 16),, after which follows a list of the kings
of Israel and Juda : then of those who governed ' Regnum Perearum,'
and ' Regnum Caldeorum ;' the prophets after the captivity conclude the
page 248.
18. Written perhaps in the xiith century; the number of
lines in each column of the 8 pages are 42, 34, and 41.
'CoMPENDlOSUM CRONICUM DE REGIBUS FrANCORUM.""
After the rubric containing this title the first words are.
Francos lingua attica valentianus imperator a feritate et duritia atque
audatia vocari primus voluit--
The Chronicle extends from ' Faramundus ' to ' Ludovicus filius Philippi
...obiit.. m°c°xxxvii.' Before this last (on p. 252 a) mention is made of
Henry I. (of England) who is described as 'vir nobilis...nulli moderai tem-
poris in regendo regno comparabilis Qui et regnavit annis xxx.' {sic).
On p. 252 h, is a list of ' Reges Anglie' from Ina to Henry I.; to the last
entry 'henricus fr' eius, has been added 'xxx' by the same hand as some
other corrections in the previous Chronicle have been made.
19. This and the next two articles are on pages 253 — 471,
with double columns of 39 lines in each, written in the xivth
century.
' Liber Giraldi Oambrensis de descriptione Hybernie.'
This was edited by Camden (folio, Frankfort, 1603, pp. 692—754), with
the title ' Topographia Hiberniae.'
On p. 253 is ' descriptio Hybernie secundum libros vetercs terram de-
scribentes,' which does not appear in Camden's edition.
On p, 254 begins ' Introitus in recitationem,' which is called by Camden
(p. 692), ' Prsefatio Prima; the Address to Henry II. being ' Pra?fatio Secunda'
(p. 698).
CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. 327
At the lower margins of many of the pages are coloured figures of men
and animals rudely executed.
20. GiRALDi Cambrexsis vaticiiialis hysteria.
' In tres quoque libellos liber iste libratur ' is the statement on p. 359 ;
though the subsequent list of capitula is divided into two books only, cor-
responding with the division of the 2nd Edition, adopted by Camden, 76.
pp. 7oo — 811.
' Introitus in recitacionem ' (p. 355) is styled ' Praefatio Prima,' and the
address ' Pictaviensium comiti Ricardo ' is printed as ' Prsefatio Secunda.'
The last sentence of the second book (p. 451 a) is :
Finem hie hystorie ponentes et tarn indolis egregie gesta digno coe-
quanda stilo reliquentes ad tociens promissum vaticiniorum librum
transeamus.
The MS. does not contain ' Prooemium Secunda Editionis,' printed pp.
811—813; and is a copy of the First Edition. See also Wharton, Anglia
Sacra, ii. p. xx.
' Liber tercius de raticiniis ' follows on p. 451 b, beginning :
Quoniara in prioribus libris merlini vaticinia tam celidonii quam
ambrosii locis competentibus pro ut res exigebat inseruimus. .
and apparently ending with p. 452 :
Tradunt britones et antique referunt hystorie et c".
21. 'Vita Sci Patricii Epi.'
Begins (p. 4.53):
Patricius qui uocatur et succet de genere britonum ortus fuit et non
longe a man nostro patria ipsius et locus in quo natus est consistit.
Ends (p. 471 a) :
Ad hybemiensem insulam misit dominus sanctum patricium ut nos
qui eramus in tenebris ad lucem converteret...Cui honor et gloria et
virtus et potestas in secula seculorum. Amen.
In the margin are various readings. From a sentence on p. 469 this
appears to be the MS. referred to by Ussher, Brit. Ecd. Antiq. cap. xvu.
(p. 463, fol. 1687), but the sentence he quoted is incorporated in the text.
As to the author of the above, Pitsius (cap. 299) referring to this MS.
ascribes it to Giraldus Cambrensis, but Wharton, Anglia Sacra, ii. p. xxiii.
remarks * de iUa (Vita) autera Giraldus in omnibus Scriptorum suorum
Catalogis tacet.' See below, § 24.

This title is taken from the rubric (on p. 499 h) preceding what is ' Alia
Auctoris Praefatio' according to Camden's edition (pp. 820—878). Before
this in the MS. is a list of the contents of the several chapters in each of the
two books {Particula prima — secunda). The second begins with the Pi'sefatio
(p. 542 6) without a rubric, and ends (p. 567) :

After this rubric is (p. 568) :

The treatise itself begins (on p. 570) :

[St Paul''s Epistles, with a Catena, chiefly from

This volume, of which both the beginning and the end are
lost, consists of two MSS. of different dates, the latter supple-
mentary to the earlier, and interspersed with it. They may be
called A and B respectively.
J, of the xith century, the text with about 21, the gloss with
about 48, lines in a page.
This MS. was originally larger both ways; some marginal notes, ap-
pai-ently liturgical, are therefore mutilated.
CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. 331
A comprises fF. 18—28, 37—48, 60—65, 70—77, 80—87, 91—94, 97—105,
110-116, 121—125, and 127—160.
The Epistle to the Romans and both those to the Corinthians are lost.
The following parts are also wanting : Gal. init. to L 8 (evayytkiCrjTai Ifiiv) ;
Eph. init.—i. 13 (r^r d\T]deias); Phil. i. 4— ii. 10 (iva iv t«b o.) ; 2 Thess. iii.

Philem. 23 (MapKOs, 'A.pi(rrapxos)—Jin.
The text is surrounded on three sides with a gloss selected chiefly if not
almost wholly from Photius, as is seen by comparison with B : Gennadius's
name occurs once in the margin at f. 18 a. Each epistle is headed with a
vnodeais and eKdfcris Kf(l>aXaimp. The test appears to be of the ordinary
Constantinopolitan family. A marginal note (4oa) refers the disputed saying
in Eph. V. 14 to diroKpixp. iepffii.
B. Of the xiith centur)', with about 42 lines in a page.
The origin of B appears to be as follows : The proprietor of A, finding
that the marginal gloss was but a selection from a larger catena to which he
had access, collated the two MSS., and ti-anscribed on fresh sheets of parch-
ment the sentences of the catena omitted by the original scribe of X These
sheets he inserted into the volume at the end of each epistle, prefixing in
each case the heading ra XetVoi/ra ds rqv irpos [KopivOlovs ^j eVto-roXrJv, and
crossing out the supei-fluous words at the beginning of each new division of
A. Some leaves of A must also have been left out, if not lost before : in
these cases the wanting parts of the epistles as well as the catena are suppUed
inB.
B comprises flF. 1—17, 29—36, 49—59, 66-69, 78, 79, 8a— 90, 95, 96,
106—109, 117—120, 126, 161—169. It gives the text of Gal. i. 1—8, Eph.
i. 1—13, Phil. i. 1— ii. 10, Col. i. 1, 2, 2 Thess. iii. 16— /«., 1 Tim. i. 1—4,
Philem. 24r—Jin.; and the supplementary commentary from 2 Cor. i. 13 to
Hel). xiii. 19. 'YTrodeaeis and eKOeaeis KtcpaXaicov are supplied where neces-
sary. The text is ordinary Constantinopolitan, but not absolutely identical
with that of A in the few verses which they have in common. The name
of the author of each paragraph in the catena is usually given in the margin.
By far the greater part is attributed to Photius ; and accordingly the entire
MS. has been erroneously described, on a hasty inspection by Cave and others,
as a Commentary of Photius upon St Paul's Epistles. The other authore
named are .^nastasius, St Athanasius, St Basil, Gennadius, St Chrj'sostom,
CEcumenlus (often), Severianus, Theodoret (often), and "Th. Ant." (sc. Theo-
dore of Mopsuestia : cf Cave, Hist. Lift. i. 386). The marginal gloss of A
and the catena of B on the Epistle to the Galatians together form precisely
what is commonly called CEcumenius's Commentarj'. See Cramer, Catena
in Acta SS. App. p. iii., and Fabr. Bihl. Grac. (Harles), vm. 695. Later in
the volume, however, this identity does not appear, and some of the matter

is unpublished ; but the point of transition could be ascertained only by a
careful collation of the entire MS. An occasional variation of the hand-
writing, as at if. 36, 51, is probably due to an attempt to make the inter-
polated leaves fit in well with the original MS. There are some liturgical
notes on f. 109 b.
In the cover is fastened a folio leaf, blank on one side, of a MS. of the
xiiith century, containing the opening of Duns Scotus's Commentary on
St John's Gospel. It begins " Vox Spiritiialis Aquile ■•• ;" and ends "... et
humanitatis ejus misteria densissiraa litera veluti."... This Commentary has
never been published. Nearly a half of the writing is pasted down on the
board.
This volume formerly belonged to Archbishop Parker.

The first words (on f. 5) are the concluding words of Jerome's Preface :
usum quia et Grteca fidelissirae express!...
after which follows ' Prefatio Eusebii ' as in the Editions, but not the
' Exordium Libri,' the first words of the text of the MS. being

the preceding, and is professedly written after its model : in the first rubric
it is said to extend 'usque ad Ji.c.lxxx.iiij annum/ and ends accordingly

At the beginning are some marginal notes by Abp. Parker respecting the
author.
7. The next leaf is blank ; but in the same handwriting as
the preceding article is a small treatise
De Abbatiis in Normannia.
It begins :

It contains some notice of the founders of divers monasteries. By
Nasmith it is called ' Libellus de primo origine ordinis Cisterciencis.'
8. Immediately following the last article is the rubric, ' In-

text do not exactly accord with the table. According to the table, the last
chapter (lxiii.) is ' Du Livre de Sante,' but in the text (p. G2) a colophon

books. It was printed in English by Ashmole, in his Theatrum Chemicum,

shorter epistle to a friend. There is hardly a line in this copy which does

A quarto, on parchment, of 151 leaves.
On the fly-leaf at the beginning, after the above-mentioned
leaves, is written ' Eegistrum Saeristae,'' and ' J. Cradock de
Eickinghall, Suff." in a modern hand; in an older hand, ' Eegis-
trum optimum hoc,' and ' Eegistrum tempore E. de Denham
Sacrist.*; Bury.' Tide fol. 87 i.
On the leaf at the end of the book, now numbered 1 60, after
some ancient scribbling, is written in a late hand, ' It apears by
the interliniasone upon y® topp of the 104^'' [144] page 5, that this
Eegister was wrot after y® [' 4 year of Edw. y® P' and the' words

temp^ Ed, 2*^', only some few things beginning at fo. 147 haue been

The date of the book is not so easily determined as the above
notes would intimate ; for several scribes have been employed
upon it, and different parts of it are probably of different dates
anterior to the middle of the reign of Edw. II. Various additions
were made after that time. It appears to consist of two books,
bound together ; but their junction must have taken place at an
early date, for the folios are numbered continuously, from one
book to the other, in a verj- ancient form of the Arabic numerals.

Two leaves follow the fly-leaf at the beginning, which are not
numbered. The first of them contains a very short index to the
contents of the second book and a short statement entitled 'Taxacio
Sacriste Sti Edmundi,' The remaining three of the unnumbered
pages are occupied by a very badly written and late alphabetical
index to the whole book in its present form ; except that part of the
4th page contains a catalogue entitled ' Hec sunt res empte perti-
nentes ad monetarium/ and a memorandum concerning a chaplain
to celebrate mass in the chapel of St Edmund for the souls of
Bishop Hugo de Nortwold of Ely, formerly Abbot of Bury, and
Bishop Nicholas of Winchester, and other benefactors.

This is not the same work as that compiled by Malory in the reign of
Edw. IV. and printed by Caxton in 1485 (see Dibdin's Ti/pog. Antiq. i.

mance entitled Morte Arthure, printed in 1847, ed. Halliwell. Judging
from the abstract given by Ellis, Metrical Romances, pp. 77 sq. ed. 1848, it
is rather to be compared with the legend of Merlin, Part ii.

This volume vras presented to the University Library by Nicolas Hobartj
formerly fellow of King's College, in 1655. The following letter on the first
fly-leaf seems to have been addressed to him.
Sir, this Manuscript I obteyned by favor of a friend out of the publique
library of the Bishopp of Mount Sinai resident heere in Grand Cayro,
wharein though the Synopsis on Gallens' book of Terapephtike and his pro-
blems on the humours bee common, yet I suppose that the Physicall Treatises
of Simeon Protomestraki of Antioch, of the most learned Psellius, and the
problems of Alexander Aphrodisius, are more rare and useful which
accept from
Your most afibctionate servant.

the holy Gost,' the ' vii vertues,"* &c.
Begins (fol. la):
Almyghty God that is in Trinite
In whom oonly are persones thre
Fader and Sone and holy Goost
That ar oo God as we trow most.
The work was originally written in a foreign tongue, and the following
reasons are assigned for publishing it in the vernacular :
' Some can frenssh and no latyn
That han vsed courtys and dwelled theryn ;
And some can off latyn a party
That kan frenssh full febelly ;
And some vnderstondeth Englyssh
That neyther kan latyn ne frenssh ;
But lered and lewed olde and yonge
All vnderstondyn Englyssh tonge.
After fol. 36 a different piece (§ 2) intervenes. The writer concludes
(fol. 83 b) in asking all persons to pray for him who * turned thys booke into
Englyssh tonge :'
To whyche blysse he vs brynge soone
That on crosse for vs wolde be doone.
Amen.

stanzas more at the conclusion.

'Synopsis Celeberrimi illius Codicis Cabbalistici qui

RALES DISTRIBUTA. AuCTORE R. IlSASCHER F. NaPHTALI Sa-
CERDOTE.'
This is a collection of remarkable passages from the Bible, in Latin, or
of references to them, classed under nineteen heads. The passages under
each head are arranged according to the books of Moses, from the com-
mentaries to which the passages are extracted. The intention of the com-
piler seems to have been the illustration of the New Testament.

1296 Ff. V. (5.
A quarto, on paper, containing ff, 301 . The text and marginal

'The Psalms of David' in English, with annotations by
Christopher Carlile.
The first verse of Psalm i. runs thus : f. 51 :
O the felicities of that man, who folowethe not the counsell of the
wicked, neither persistethe in the trade of revolte, nor sittethe in the
assembly of the malicyous.
The first 49 leaves contain notes that the author ' could not conveniently
jdace in the margyne,' written in a very inferior hand to the rest of the MS.
The Psalter has its leaves numbered throughout. Between ff, 14 and 15
according to this numbering are inserted 20 leaves of additional notes in the
same hand as the first 49 leaves. At the end is a * table for the Psalms.'
f. 3 gives the name James Carsell, f. 48 contains some scribbled accounts ;
in Ps. cxlvii. two diagrams are inserted, shewing the planetary orbits and
the signs of the Zodiack.

. . continuet ad perfectum.
This MS. is 31 in the list of MSS. consulted by Dr I. A. Giles for his
edition (8vo, Oxon. 1847) : see Vol. ii. 282, 3. See also Tanner, Bibl. Brit. 105.
There are many corrections and marginal notes by various hands : leaves
62, 53, 65 — 72 are now wanting : the volume has otherwise suffered from
misuse, the binder having thought it necessary to round off the corners.
The list of Epistles is on two leaves at the beginning : on the back of one
and in the same hand as the above is, ' Hec sunt noniina Regum qui mo-
narchiam Anglie tenuerunt et quot annis regnabant.' Another hand has
supplied the number of years of John's reign and continued the list to the
name of Edward I., to which has been added 'xxxv annis' by a contem-
porary of ' Edwardus filius eius.'
At the end 9 leaves of a smaller form on paper are inserted, containing
part of an index to the epistles.
2. On the waste leaves at the beginning of the volume, in
handwritings apparently of the xivth century, are four or five
medical prescriptions, ' Inter pretaciones nominum hebreorum^ and
a short formulary : of which the first is of ' Littere prime cita-
cionis,' the whole occupying only a page and a half.
3. At the end in a small hand, under the partly obliterated
title _ _
' Rescriptum Cartarum Dni Regis Angl. Johs qui obiit anno
ab incarnacoe dni MccxvuVare,
1. ' Carta Regis Joliannis per quam regnum et coronam Anglie

It agrees with the text printed in the new edition (Fol. Lond. 1816) of
Fcedera, Vol. i. pp. Ill — 12 ; but the titles are abbreviated and the names of
the witnesses omitted.

THE CAMBRIDGE PARAGRAPH BIBLE
of the Authorized English Version, with the Text Revised by a Colla-
tion of its Early and other Principal Editions, the Use of the Italic
Type made uniform, the Marginal References remodelled, and a Criti-
cal Introduction prefixed, by the Rev. F. H. Scrivener, M.A.,LL.D.,
Editor of the Greek Testament, Codex Augiensis, &c., and one of
the Revisers of the Authorized Version. Crown Quarto, cloth, gilt, 21s.
From the Times.
"Students of the Bible should be particu-
larly grateful to (the Cambridge University
Press) for having produced, with the able as-
sistance of Dr Scrivener, a complete critical
edition of the Authorized Version of the Eng-
lish Bible, an edition such as, to use the words
of the Editor, 'would have been executed
long ago had this version been nothing more
than the greatest and best known of English
classics.' Falling at a time when the formal
revision of this version has been undertaken
by a distinguished company of scholars and
divines, the publication of this edition must
be considered most opportune."
From the Athemettnt.
"Apart from its religious importance, the
English Bible has the glory, which but few
sister versions indeed can claim, of being the
chief classic of the language, of having, in
conjunction with Shakspeare, and in «n im-
measurable degree more than he, fixed the
language beyond any possibility of important
change. Thus the recent contributions to the
literature of the subject, by such workers as
Mr Francis Fry and Canon Westcott, appeal to
a wide range of sympathies; and to these may
now be added Dr Scrivener, well known for
his labours in the cause of the Greek Testa-
ment criticism, who has brought out, for the
Syndics of the Cambridge University Press,
an edition of the English Bible, according to
the text of 161 1, revised by a comparison with
later issues on principles stated by him in his
Introduction. Here he enters at length into
the history of the chief editions of the version,
and of such features as the marginal notes,
the use of italic type, and the changes of or-
thography, as well as into the most interesting
question as to the original texts from which
our translation is produced."
From the Methodist Recorder.
"This noble quarto of over 1300 pages is
in every respect worthy of editor and pub-
lishers alike. The name of the Cambridge
University Press is guarantee enough for its
perfection in outward form, the name of the
editor is equal guarantee for the worth and
accuracy of its contents. Without question,
it is the best Paragraph Bible ever published,
and its reduced price of a guinea brings it
within reach of a large number of students. .
But the volume is much more than a Para-
graph Bible. It is an attempt, and a success-
ful attempt, to give a critical edition of the
Authorised English Version, not (let it be
marked) a revision, but an exact reproduc-
tion of the original Authorised Version, as
published in 161 1, minus patent mistakes.
This is doubly necessary at a time when the
version is about to undergo revision. . . To
all who at this season seek a suitable volume
for presentation to ministers or teachers we
earnestly commend this work."
From the London Quarterly Review.
"The work is worthy in every respect of
the editor's fame, and of the Cambridge
University Press. The noble English Ver-
sion, to which our country and religion owe
so much, was probably never presented be-
fore in so perfect a form."

THEOLOGY-(ANCIENT).
SAYINGS OF THE JEWISH FATHERS,
comprising Pirqe Aboth and Pereq R. Meir in Hebrew and English,
with Critical and Illustrative Notes. By Charles Tavi.OR, M.A.
Fellow and Divinity Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge, and
Honorary Fellow of King's College, London. Demy 8vo. cloth, los.
" It is peculiarly incumbent on those who accompaniecl_by scholarly notes, of any por-
look to Jerome or (jrigen for their theology or
exegesis to learn something of their Jewish
predecessors. The Xew Testament abounds
with sa>'tngs which remarkably coincide with,
or closely resemble, those of the Jewish
Fathers; and these latter probably would
furnish more satisfactory and frequent illus-
trations of its text than the Old TestamenL"
— Saturday Review.
"The 'Masseketh Aboth' stands at the
head of Hebrew non-canonical writings. It
is of ancient date, claiming to contain the
dicta of terchers who flourished from B.C. 200
to the same year of our era. The precise
time of its compilation in its present form is,
of course, in doubt. Mr Taylor's explana-
tory and illustrative commentary is very full
and satisf£.ctory." — Spectator.
"If we mistake not, this is the first pre-
cise tramluion into the English language
tion of the Talmud. la other words, it is
the first instance of that most valuable and
neglected portion of Jewish literature being
treated in the same way as a Greek classic
in an ordinary critical edition. . . The Tal-
mudic books, which have been so strangely
neglected, we foresee will be the most im-
portant aids of the future for the proper un-
derstanding of the Bible. . . The Sayings of
the JfcLnsh Fathers may claim to be scholar-
ly, and, moreover, of a scholarship unusually
thorough and finished." — Dublin Untver-
sity ytagazitu.

" One result of this disappearance of the
works of Diodorus, which his Arian oppo-

and shows considerable advance in freedom
and lightness of style Under such cir-

Mr Sandys we may safely say that never
before has a Greek play, in England at
least, had fuller justice done to its criti-
cism, interpretation, and archaeological il-
lustration, whether for the young student or
the more ad\-anced scholar. The Cambridge
Public Orator may be said to have taken the
lead in issuing a complete edition of a Greek
play, which is destined perhaps to gain re-
doubled favour now that the study of ancient

none the less speaking evidence to the i-alue

A SELECTION OF THE STATE TRIALS.
By J. W. Willis-Bund, M.A., LL.B., Barrister-at-Law, Professor of
Constitutional Law and Historj-, University College, London. Vol. L
Trials for Treason (1327 — 1660). Crown 8vo. cloth, \%s.
"A g^reat and good service has been done
to all students of historj', and especially to
those of them who look to it in a legal aspect,
by Prof. J. W. Willis- Bund in the publica-
tion of a Selection of Cases frotn the State
Trials. . . . Professor Willis- Bund has been
very careful to give such selections from the
State Trials as will best illustrate those
points in what may be called the growth of
the Law of Treason which he wishes to
bring clearly under the notice of the student,
and the result is, that there is not a page in
the book which has not its own lesson
I n all respects, so far as we have been able
to test it, this book is admirably done." —
Scotstnan.
"Mr Willis-Bund has edited 'A Selection
of Cases from the State Trials' which is
likely to form a very valuable addition to
the standard Uterature. . . There can
be no doubt, therefore, of the interest that
can be found in the State trials. But they
are large and unwieldy, and it is impossible
for the general reader to come across them.
Mr Willis-Bund has therefore done good
service in making a selection that is in the
first volume reduced to a commodious form."
— TAe Examiner.
"Every one engaged, either in teaching
or in historical inquiry, must have felt the
want of such a book, taken from the unwieldy
volumes of the State Tnals," —CoHtemJioraTy
RevieTju.
"This work is a very usefiil contribution
to that important branch of the constitutional
history of England which is concerned with
the growth and development of the law of
treason, as it may be gathered from trials be-
fore the ordinary courts. The author has
very wisely distinguished these cases from
those of impeachment for treason before Par-
liament, which he proposes to treat in a future
volume under the general head ' Proceedings
in Parliament.'" — The Academy.
" This is a work of such obvioiw utility
Vol, II.
that the only wonder is that no one should
have undertaken it before. ... In many
respects therefore, although the trials are
more or less abridged, this is for the ordinary
student's purpose not only a more handy,
but a more useful work than Howell's." —
Saturday Revie"jj.
" Within the boards of this useful and
handy book the student will find everything
he can desire in the way of lists of cases
given at length or referred to, and the
statutes bearing on the te.xt arranged chro-
nologically. The work of selecting from
Howell's bulky series of volumes has been
done with much judgment, merely curious
cases being excluded, and all included so
treated as to illustrate some important point
of constitutional law." — Glasgsiu Herald.
"Mr Willis-Bund gives a resume of each
case as it comes, only quoting from the re-
ports where the words of the original are
important in themselves, and very often
stating the point decided in his own words.
By following this method he is able to intro-
duce extraneous matter which does not
strictly belong to the case in hand, such as
Acts of Parliament, and in that way to make
his book both more intelligible and more in-
teresting. In the several trials which we
have read he has done his work very well.
The book should be very interesting to the
historical student. . . . From what we have
seen of this book we have great pleasure in
recommending it." — Guardian.
" Mr Bund's object is not the romance,
but the constitutional and legal bearings of
that great series of causes celebres which is
unfortunately not within easy reach of
readers not happy enough to possess valua-
ble libraries. . . . Of the importance of this
subject, or of the want of a book of this
kind, referring not vaguely but precisely to
the grounds of constitutional doctrines, both
of pa-st and present times, no reader of his-
tory can feel any doubt." — Daily News.

" This is one of the latest, we believe
quite the latest, of the contributions made to
legal scholarship by that revived study of
the Roman Law at Cambridge which is now
so marked a feature in the industrial life
of the University. ... In the present book
we have the fruits of the same kind of
thorough and well-ordered study which was
brought to bear upon the notes to the Com-
mentaries and the Institutes . . . Hitherto
the Edict has been almost inaccessible to
the ordinary English student, and such a
student will be interested as well as perhaps
surprised to find how abundantly the extant
fragments illustrate and clear up points which
have attracted his attention in the Commen-
taries, or the Institutes, or the Digest." —

HISTORY.
LIFE AND TIMES OF STEIN, OR GERMANY
AND PRUSSIA IN THE NAPOLEONIC AGE,
by J. R. Seeley, M.A., Regius Professor of Modem History in
the University of Cambridge, with Portraits and Maps. 3 Vols.
Demy 8vo. 48^.
" If we could conceive anything similar
to a protective system in the intellectual de-
partment, we might perhaps look forward to
a time when our historians would raise the
cry of protection for native industry. Of
the unquestionably greatest German men of
modem history — I speak of Frederick the
Great, Goethe and Stein — -the first two found
long since in Carlyle and Lewes biographers
who have undoubtedly driven their German
competitors out of the field. And now in the
year just past Professor Seeley of Cambridge
has presented us with a biography of Stein
which, though it modestly declines competi-
tion with German works and disowns the
presumption of teaching us Germans our own
history, yet casts into the shade by its bril-
liant superiority all that we have ourselves
hitherto written about Stein.... In five long
chapters Seeley expounds the legislative and
administrative reforms, the emancipation of
the person and the soil, the beginnings of
free administration and free trade, in short
the foundation of modem Prussia, with more
exhaustive thoroughness, with more pene-
trating insight, than any one had done be-
fore."— Deutsche Rundschau.
" Dr Busch's volume has made people
think and talk even more than usual of Prince
Bismarck, and ProfessorSeeley's very learned
work on Stein will turn attention to an earlier
and an almost equally eminent German states-
man It is soothing to the national
self-respect to find a few Englishmen, such
as the late Mr Lewes and Professor Seeley,
doing for German as well as English readers
what many German scholars have done for
us." — Times.
" In a notice of this kind scant justice can
be done to a work like the one before us ; no
short resume can give even the most meagre
notion of the contents of these volumes, which
contain no page that is superfluous, and
none that is uninteresting To under-
stand the Germany of to-day one must study
the Germany of many yesterdays, and now
that study has been made easy by this work,
to which no one can hesitate to assign a very
high place among those recent histories which
have aimed at original research." — Atht'
tUButn.
"The book before us fills an important
gap in English — nay, European — historical
literature, and bridges over the history of
Prussia from the time of Frederick the Great
to the days of Kaiser Wilhelm. It thus gives
the reader standing ground whence he may
regard contemporary events in Germany in
their proper historic light We con-
gratulate Cambridge and her Professor of
History on the appearance of such a note-
worthy production. And we may add that it
is something upon which we may congratulate
England that on the especial field of the Ger-
mans, history, on the history of their own
country, by the use of their own literary
weapons, an Englishman has produced a his-
tory of Germany in the Napoleonic age far
superior to any that exists in German." —

Some Account of the Studies at the English Universities in the
Eighteenth Century, By Christopher Wordsworth, M.A.,
Fellow of Peterhouse ; Author of " Social Life at the English

"The general object of Mr Wordsworth's
book is sufficiently apparent from its title.
He has collected a great quantity of minute
and curious information about the working
of Cambridge institutions in the last century,
with an occasional comparison of the corre-
sponding state of things at Oxford. It is of
course impossible that a book of this kind
should be altogether entertaining as litera-
ture. To a great extent it is purely a book
of reference, and as such it will be of per-
manent value for the historical knowledge of
English education and learning." — Saturday
Review.
"In the work before us, which is strictly what
it prQfes.ses to be, an account of university stu-
dies, we obtain authentic information upon the
course and changes of philosophical thought
in this country, upon the general estimation
of letters, upon the relations of doctrine and
science, upon the range and thoroughness of
education, and we may add, upon the cat-
like tenacity of life of ancient forms.... The
particulars Mr Wordsworth gives us in his
excellent arrangement are most varied, in-
teresting, and instructive. Among the mat-
ters touched upon are Libraries, Lectures,
the Tripos, the Trivium, the Senate House,
the Schools, text-books, subjects of study,
foreign opinions, interior life. We learn
even of the various University periodicals
that have had their day. And List, but not
least, we are given in an appendix a highly
interesting series of private letters from a
Cambridge student to John Strype, giving
a vivid idea of life as an undergraduate and
afterwards, as the writer became a graduate
and a fellow." — University Magazine,
"Only those who have engaged in like la-
bours will be able fully to appreciate the
sustained industry and conscientious accuracy
discernible in every page. . . . Of the whole
volume it may be said that it is a genuine
service rendered to the study of University
history, and that the habits of thought of any
writer educated at either .seat of learning in
the la-^t century will, in many cases, be far
better understood after a consideration of the
materials here collected." — Academy.

THE ANABASIS OF XENOPHON, Book VII. With
a Map and English Notes by Alfred Pretor, M.A., Fellow of
St Catharine's College, Cambridge ; Editor of Persitis and Cicero ad Atticum
Book I. Price is. 6d.
" In Mr Pretor's edition of tlie Anabasis the text of Kuhner has been followed in the main,
while the exhaustive and admirable notes of the great German editor have been largely utilised.
These notes deal with the minutest as well as the most important difficulties in construction, and
all questions of history, antiquity, and geography are briefly but very effectually elucidated." — l^he
Examiner.
BOOKS I. III. IV. & V. By the same Editor. 2s. each.
BOOKS II. and VI. By the same Editor. Price 2s. 6d. each.
"Mr Pretor's 'Anabasis of Xenophon, Book IV.' displays a union of accurate Cambridge
scholarship, with experience of what is required by learners gained in examining middle-class
schools. The text is large and clearly printed, and the notes explain all difficulties. . . . Mr
Pretor's notes seem to be all that could be wished as regards grammar, geography, and other
matters." — T/te Academy.
"Another Greek text, designed it would seem for students preparing for the local examinations,
is 'Xenophon's Anabasis,' Book II., with English Notes, by Alfred Pretor, M.A. The editor has
exercised his usual discrimination in utilising the text and notes of Kuhner, with the occasional
assistance of the best hints of Schneider, VoUbrecht and Macmichael on critical matters, and of
Mr R. W. Taylor on points of history and geography. . . When Mr Pretor commits himself to
Commentator's work, he is eminently helpful. . . Had we to introduce a young Greek scholar
to Xenophon, we should esteem ourselves fortunate in having Pretor's text-book as our chart and
guide." — Contemporary Revieix).

M. T. CICERONIS DE AMICITIA. Edited by J. S.
Reid, M.L., Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Price ^s.
" Mr Reid has decidedly attained his aim, namely, ' a thorough examination of the Latinity
of the dialogue.' The revision of the text is most valuable, and comprehends sundry
acute corrections. . . . This volume, like Mr Reid's other editions, is a solid gain to the scholar-
ship of the country." — Atfietueutn.
"A more distinct gain to scholarship is Mr Reid's able and thorough edition of the De
AtnicitiA of Cicero, a work of which, whether we regard the exhaustive introduction or the
instructive and most suggestive commentary, it would be difficult to speak too highly. . . . When
we come to the commentary, we are only amazed by its fulness in proportion to its bulk.
Nothing is overlooked which can tend to enlarge the learner's general kriowledge of Ciceronian
Latin or to elucidate the lext."— Saturday Review.

M. T. CICERONIS ORATIO PRO ARCHIA POETA.
Edited by J. S. Reid, M.L. Price \s. 6d.
" It is an admirable specimen of careful editing. An Introduction tells us everything we could
wish to know about Archias, about Cicero's connexion with him, about the merits of the trial, and
the genuineness of the speech. The text is well and carefully printed. The notes are clear and
scholar-like. . . . No boy can master this little volume without feeling that he has advanced a long

(Alexander in India.) By W. E. Heitland, M.A., Fellow and Lecturer

in Sherborne School. J^rice y. 6d.
" Equally commendable as a genuine addition to the existing stock of school-books is
Alexander in India, a compilation from the eighth and ninth books of Q. Curtius, edited for
the Pitt Press by Messrs Heitland and Raven. . . . The work of Curtius has merits of its
own, which, iu former generations, made it a favourite with English scholars, and which still
make it a popular text book in Continental schools The reputation of Mr Heitland is a
sufficient guarantee for the scholarship of the notes, which are ample without being excessive,
and the book is well furnished with all that is needful in the nature of maps, indexes, and ap-
pendices." —Academy.

P. OVIDII NASONIS FASTORUM Liber VI. With
a Plan of Rome and Notes by A. SiDGWiCK, M.A. Tutor of Corpus Christi
College, Oxford. Price is. 6d.
" Mr Sidgwick's editing of the Sixth Book of Ovid's Fasti furnishes a careful and serviceable
volume for average students. It eschews 'construes' which supersede the use of the dictionary,
but gives full explanation of grammatical i-sages and historical and mythical allusions, besides
illustrating peculiarities of style, true and false derivations, and the more remarkable variations of
the text." — Saturday Kevie'w.
" It is eminently good and useful. . . . The Introduction is singtilarly clear on the astronomy of
Ovid, which is properly shown to be ignorant and confused ; there is an excellent little map of
Rome, giving just the places mentioned in the text and no more ; the notes are evidently written
by a practical schoolmaster." — The Academy.

" In an unusually succinct introduction he gives all the preliminary and collateral information
that is likely to be useful to a young student ; and, wherever we have examined his notes, we
have found them eminently practical and satisfying. . . The book may well be recommended for
careful study in school or college." — Saturday Review.

and J. R. Lumby, D.D., Norrisian Professor of Divinity. Revised edition.
Price 7 J. (id.
"To young students of English History the illustrative notes will be of great service, while
the study of the texts will be a good introduction to Mediaeval Latin." — The Nonconformist.
"In Bede's works Englishmen can go back to origines of their history, unequalled for
form and matter by any modern European nation. Prof. Mayor has done good service in ren-
dering a part of Bede's greatest work accessible to those who can read Latin with ease. He
has adorned this edition of the third and fourth books of the "Ecclesiastical History" with that
amazing erudition for which he is unrivalled among Englishmen and rarely equalled by Germans.
And however interesting and valuable the text may be, we can certainly apply to his notes
the expression, La sauce vaut tnieux que le poisson. They are literally crammed with interest-
ing information about early English life. For though ecclesiastical in name, Bede's history treats
of all parts of the national life, since the Church had points of contact with all." — Examiner.

excellent and succinct accounts of the constitution of the French army and Parliament at the

"To enthusiasts in history matters, who are not content with mere facts, but like to pursue
their investigations behind the scenes, as it were. Professor Rawson Lumby has in the work now
before us produced a most acceptable contribution to the now constantly increasing store of
illustrative reading." — The Catnbridge Review.
" To Dr Lumby we must give praise unqualified and unstinted. He has done his work
admirably Every student of histor>', every politician, every social reformer, every one
interested in literarj' curiosities, every lover of English should buy and carefully read Dr
Lumby's edition of the 'Utopia.' We are afraid to say more lest we should be thought ex-
travagant, and our recommendation accordingly lose part of its force." — The Teacher.
" It was originally written in Latin and does not find a place on ordinary bookshelves. Avery
great boon has therefore been conferred on the general English reader by the managers of the
Pitt Press Series, in the issue of a convenient little volume of More's Utopia not in the original
Latin, but in the quaint English Translation thereof Tnade hy Raphe Robynson, which adds a
linguistic interest to the intrinsic merit of the work. . . . All this has been edited in a most com-
plete and scholarly fashion by Dr J. R. Lumby, the Norrisian Professor of Divinity, whose name
alone is a sufficient warrant for its acciu^cy. It is a real addition to the modem stock of classical
English literature." — Guardian.
